Rain curtails play in Galle Test

Skipper Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena hammered contrasting half centuries before heavy rain brought an end to the proceedings early with Sri Lanka on 165 for 3 in the opening Test match against the West Indies at the Galle International Stadium yesterday.

Left hander Sangakkara raced to a sparkling half century from just 45 deliveries inclusive of nine boundaries and went on to make a top score of 73 before he was bowled by Dwayne Bravo.

Sangakkara also put on a fifty run partnership for the third wicket with former captain Mahela Jayawardena who played a more responsible innings to be unbeaten on 51 from 91 deliveries inclusive of five boundaries.

Thilan Samaraweera joined Jayawardena and the pair had so far put on 33 runs for the fourth wicket when bad light halted play shortly after lunch which was followed by a heavy shower that lasted throughout the second session. The match was eventually called off at 3.45 p.m. and will resume today at 9.45 a.m. with Sri Lanka still needing a further 215 runs to avert the follow on mark with seven wickets in hand.
